</div>

(In blocks) I can’t find “IsTouching” and it shows it on [https://makecode.microbit.org/reference/game/is-touching](https://makecode.microbit.org/reference/game/is-touching)

I don’t know if it’s an extension

Please help me.

`isTouching` is for the micro:bit and since you tagged this topic with Arcade help, I’m assuming that you are looking at the wrong documentation.

In the Sprite category in the Arcade section there is a block called `<[sprite] overlaps with [sprite]>` which will return a `bool` - `true` for overlapping and `false` for not overlapping.
